Terms of use

This statement presents the Terms of use of this site. All users of this site are deemed to have read, accepted and acknowledged the validity of the terms set out below, and hereby agree to observe and be bound by them. The RTM may modify these terms at any time without prior notice. The date of the most recent modification of these terms appears at the foot of this document.

These terms constitute the entirety of the rights and obligations binding the RTM and all users of this site, and replace any prior terms or provisions respecting the use of this site. No verbal or written statement by an RTM employee or manager, or by any other person, shall have the effect of modifying or replacing these terms.

This site is managed and updated from a computer located in the city of Montréal, Province of Québec, Canada. Both the content and use of this site are subject to the applicable laws of Québec and of Canada. These terms, as well as any disputes or misunderstanding arising from their application, must be interpreted in accordance with these laws. Should any provision accompanying these terms be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, then said provision shall be deemed to be severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of these terms, which shall then be interpreted without reference to the expunged provision. Any recourse, action, petition or suit upon the content or use of this site, brought against the RTM, or implicating the latter, shall be brought before a court of Québec or a federal court of Canada, without regard for any potential application of conflict of laws theory.
